By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: Dr. Lee recounts numerous "miracle drugs" of his day that turned out to harmful or even lethal to many in the population. (With pharmaceutical-related deaths in America numbering in the tens to hundreds of thousands today, this practice has continued unabated.) It is the "cooperation with natural constructive forces" that brings health, Lee writes, not "drug or poison therapy by which the cell activities are subjected to new and unknown reactions with new and unknown end or side results that...undermine the future welfare of the patient." This simple, sensible approach, Lee says, is the basis of his Vitamin Products Company, which provided complete, natural vitamins in the form of whole-food supplements. Lee also specifies some of the constituents of the natural vitamin C complex, which in addition to ascorbic acid includes an antihemorrhagic factor, a thrombin synthesis factor, a blood-oxygen factor, and a connective-tissue-integrity factor. Publication date unknown.
